My Only Wish.

You turn and look at me.
I return your look with a smile.
You smile back at me and your eyes light up.
I approach you with a smile on my face not believing my luck.
You turn to me again and smile while you walk away.
I follow you and catch you.
You turn and fall into my arms.
I lean down to kiss you.....
Suddenly the world turns black.
I sit up in bed. It was only a dream.
Tears start to form in my eyes and roll down my cheeks.
For I can no longer have you or see you.
I can only dream of you.
Regret creeps into my mind.
Regret at things that I didn't show you or tell you.
I used to think that I could go through the world alone.
Then I met you, and you changed that, you became my world.
Now I am once again alone and the world seems impossible.
My friends carry me on their shoulders and support me.
They wish me the best. They tell me that time helps.
But my only wish until the end of time, is that:
One day you leave my dreams and come back to me.
